Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup dry buttermilk powder
  • 1 tbsp parsley dried, for blending, divided
  • 1 tsp dill weed dried, divided
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried onion flakes or dried chopped onion
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp portabella mushrooms organic, dried, pieces
  • 1 tsp garlic salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper ground
  • 1/2 tsp sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add all the dry ingredients except the reserved 1 tsp of dried parsley and the 1/2 teaspoon of dried dill to your blender. Blend until a nice powder.
  2. Hand mix in the reserved parsley and dill - you want to see some herbs in your mix.
  3. Store dry mix in an air-tight container or jar in your pantry for 2-3 months or in the freezer for 6 months or longer.

Notes

  • Mix 2 tablespoons of dry powder with 1/2 to 1 cup sour cream to make dip; chill 2 hours before serving.
  • For dressing, blend 3 tablespoons dry mix with 1 cup mayonnaise and 2/3 cup buttermilk; refrigerate 1-2 hours.
  • Use real buttermilk for dressings; regular milk does not produce authentic flavor.
  • Sprinkle dry mix over buttered bread and bake for ranch-style garlic bread.
  • Store dry mix in airtight container for 2-3 months in pantry or up to 6 months in freezer.
